Biographical history
In 1908 Canada celebrated its 300th anniversary; the tercentenary of Champlain's founding of Quebec City. In July of that year the Quebec City celebrations consisted of parades, costume pageants on the Plains of Abraham, visiting battleships and dignitaries (H.R.H. The Prince of Wales), fireworks,ceremonies, balls, and festivities.The climax of the 1908 celebration was the historical pageant in which 4000 costumed citizens re-enacted classic events in Canada's history. Material related to or depicting the celebrations has been gathered together in this collection.
Custodial history
The custodial history of this material is unkown. The material was likely acquired prior to the move of Queen's University Archives from Douglas Library to Kathleen Ryan Hall in 1981.
